So the 2nd draft script has been on the internet for years. So here it is in it's corrected/fixed version.

But I will have to give an explaining how I fixed it...

This was a project I started by using two materials:
1 - The Horrorlair TXT source.
2 - Frank Darabont's scan of the draft with Bernie Wrightson's illustrations.

Originally when I had the scan of the Darabont script given to me from a source that shall be nameless.
I thought I was in good hands to see the Wrightson illustrations along reading the script. But how the script was scanned on the pdf.
The text was okay and good, but the illustrations pages were awfully scanned badly.
So I decided to go through a project to find all those illustrations online and save them as a pdf - replacing the badly scanned pages with clear high quality resolutions of those illustrations.

So with the digital pdf project!

So I went to the Horrorlair source to see if formatting it into a script format would work.

But!

It did, but there was a huge problem at the time where I would see terrible and stupid errors on the person who retyped it.
Whoever did not follow closely on parts on some or so levels with the copy they did had.
So I copy and pasted into a OpenOffice document and started the project from interesting cool start to a painful days, which can drive me nuts by looking back and forth between the Horrorlair TXT source and the scan.

But it was worth doing so that I can share the script with Bernie's illustrations in it's actual intent than the other poor sucker that put the script on Horrorlair who maybe understood the script but put the goddamn errors and nonsense into the script which could make throw the person off in what they're trying to understand off of the script...

So here it is and enjoy...
